2026 Zhitro Hearing Liberation Empowerment and Puja
This event is available both In-person and online. Khentrul Rinpoche will bestow the rare Karma Lingpa Zhitro Empowerment (Liberation Upon Hearing) and lead a Nyedren Purification Puja. This Highest Yoga Tantra practice is a profound way to honor ancestors, support the living, and prepare for our own transition.
-A Rare Blessing: Rinpoche holds a deep, personal connection to this lineage, having received the empowerment many times.
-The Nyedren Puja: This specific purification ritual guides the deceased—whether they passed recently or generations ago—through the bardo and beyond the six realms of samsara.
-Spiritual Fusion: Through sacred prayers and offerings, the consciousness of the deceased is invited to merge with the enlightened wisdom of the 100 deities, leading them toward the awakened state of Samantabhadra.
-A Final Act of Merit: To conclude the ceremony, we will burn name tablets for both the living and the departed. This acts as a powerful dedication, clearing karmic obstacles and expressing heartfelt gratitude to our parents and lineage.
In an uncertain life, these “Hearing Liberation” teachings provide an immense anchor of support for the transition of death, the bardo journey, and a fortunate rebirth.
Understanding Zhitro and the Bardo
Zhitro (literally “Peaceful and Wrathful”) refers to the assembly of 100 Bardo Deities: 42 peaceful and 58 wrathful. This profound teaching was hidden as a terma (spiritual treasure) by Guru Padmasambhava in the 8th century and later revealed by the terton Karma Lingpa in the 14th century.
The Bardo Journey
The term Bardo signifies an “intermediate state.” In this context, it refers to the 49-day transitional phase between death and your next rebirth.
-The Manifestation: During these 49 days, the 100 Zhitro deities appear to the consciousness of the deceased.
-The Process: * Peaceful Deities manifest first, offering an immediate opportunity for liberation through recognition.
-Wrathful Deities appear later for those who require a more powerful, transformative energy to awaken.
-The Goal: If the deceased recognizes these deities as their own enlightened nature, they achieve liberation. If no connection is made during this 49-day window, the consciousness is drawn back into the cycle of rebirth within the six realms.
Why Empowerment Matters
By receiving the Zhitro empowerment now, you establish a direct conduit to these deities while living. This “pre-acquaintance” prepares you to recognize them with confidence during the bardo, transforming the terrifying or confusing experiences of death into a clear path toward awakening.
Access the Teachings Later
Live recordings will be added to this course next week. While you can catch up on most sessions later, we encourage you to attend live to participate in Q&A and practice with the community. Important: Oral Transmissions and Empowerments are not recorded. You must sign in during the live broadcast time to receive these.
Sponsor a Puja for the Deceased
Deepen your practice through the power of Tendrel. In the Buddhist tradition, an offering is much more than a donation—it is a physical act that creates Tendrel, the vital interdependent link between you, the Lama, and the ritual. While we are all connected as sentient beings, making a personal offering transforms a passive request into an active karmic bond. This intentional connection anchors your heart to the prayers, strengthening the aspiration and clearing the path for the fullest possible results.
This Puja is traditionally offered for anyone who has passed away to help purify their karma and support their journey. Because the reach of these prayers is timeless, it is deeply beneficial regardless of how long ago your loved one transitioned.
Prepare for Your Death: The Six Jewels of Liberation
When traditional monastic support is far away, you can still ensure a sacred transition. Curated by Khentrul Rinpoche and blessed during the Zhitro Empowerment, this comprehensive kit contains all six methods of liberation—sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and wearing. From the sacred mantra shroud to the Zhitro mandala sands, these “Jewels” create the karmic propensities for liberation and provide the ultimate protection against the lower realms.

Khentrul Rinpoche a acceptat să acorde împuternicirea Kstigarbha și să oficieze o Puja la cererea studenților asiatici.
Kṣitigarbha este unul dintre cei patru Bodhisattva principali din budismul Mahayana din Asia de Est, alături de Samantabhadra, Manjusri și Avalokiteśvara. Numele său se traduce prin „Comoara Pământului”. Kṣitigarbha este renumit pentru jurământul său de a instrui toate ființele din cele șase lumi, în perioada cuprinsă între moartea lui Gautama Buddha și ascensiunea lui Maitreya. El a jurat, de asemenea, să nu atingă starea de Buddha până când toate iadurile nu vor fi golite. Drept urmare, el este adesea văzut ca Bodhisattva al ființelor din iad, precum și ca protector al copiilor și zeitate ce patronează copiii decedați și feții avortați, în cultura japoneză.
BENEFICIILE PRACTICII
Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva Pūrvapraṇidhāna Sūtra subliniază meritele practicii cu Kṣitigarbha. Sutra sugerează că aceia care urmează învățăturile sale vor obține merite și beneficii de neconceput. Această practică poate ajuta, de asemenea, la dizolvarea unei unei cantități enorme de karmă negativă.
Protejaț de Regii Naga. Meritele sporesc zilnic.
Aduni cauzele celor sfinți. Bodhi nu degenerează.
Hainele și mâncarea sunt abundente. Bolile nu se apropie.
Ferit de dezastrele provocate de apă și foc. Fără hoții și ghinioane.
Respectul este obținut. Sprijinit și ajutat de zei și fantome.
Renaștere umană. Devii o prințesă puternică și influentă.
Înfățișare dreaptă și frumoasă. Născut adesea in Ceruri
Devii un împărat. Înțelepciune înnăscută.
Toate cererile îți sunt îndeplinite. Rudele și familia sunt fericite.
Toate obstacolele sunt eliminate. Scapi din lumea karmei.
Toate locurile sunt accesibile. Visele nocturne sunt liniștite.
Decedații sunt eliberați de suferință. Primești binecuvântări în viețile viitoare.
Toți sfinții te laudă. Ești inteligent și perspicace.
Plin de compasiune și bunătate iubitoare. În cele din urmă, atingi starea de Buddha.
Puja Kṣitigarbha în timpul Festivalului Qingming
Kṣitigarbha este o manifestare a lui Buddha foarte venerată de chinezi, datorită jurămintelor sale importante de a-i proteja pe cei din tărâmurile inferioare. Acest lucru este în mod special important pentru chinezi, care sunt preocupați de faptul că strămoșii lor s-ar putea să se fi reîncarnat în tărâmurile inferioare. În timpul Festivalului Qingming, cunoscut și sub numele de Ziua Curățării Mormintelor (și uneori denumit Ziua Comemorării sau Ziua Strămoșilor), care este un festival tradițional chinezesc sărbătorit de etnia chineză din toată Asia, Puja Kṣitigarbha este o practică obișnuită și are o relevanță semnificativă pentru budiștii chinezi.
CINE POATE PARTICIPA
Nu există cerințe preliminare formale.
SPONSORIZAȚI PUJA PENTRU A O DEDICA CUIVA APROPIAT
Mulți oameni se bucură să urmărească online diverse Puja realizate de lama, crezând că primesc un beneficiu enorm. De asemenea, în Occident este ceva obișnuit ca oamenii să ceară unui lama să se roage pentru ei, fără a aduce vreo ofrandă sau fără a avea o legătură personală cu acesta. Deși, ca ființă simțitoare, ești conectat la rezultatele unei Puja realizate pentru beneficiul tuturor ființelor simțitoare, legătura karmică este incredibil de slabă și, prin urmare, la fel este și rezultatul. În mod normal, în anumite momente din viață, atunci când este nevoie de o Puja sau de rugăciuni pentru a elimina diverse datorii karmice, obstacole sau boli karmice, se obișnuiește să se facă ofrande financiare către lama, pentru rugăciuni și Puja. Acest lucru creează o legătură karmică mai puternică cu Puja, ceea ce conduce la un rezultat karmic mai puternic.

This page is for registration for the Third Vajra Yoga event with Rinpoche. If you would like to additionally book the subsequent Practice Retreat Weeks for the Third Vajra Yoga (September 6 – 13, and 13 – 20, register additionally here.)
DESCRIPTION
After repeated requests from individuals and groups over the last decades, Rinpoche has finally accepted the request to teach all Six Vajra Yogas of Kālachakra for the first time in the West. This is a milestone in the history of Kālachakra practice. This is a precious and incredibly rare opportunity, and we are delighted and grateful to be able to offer it at Kalapa.
Note: this is the first time ever Rinpoche is bestowing the Third Vajra Yoga. As the content and practices of the Third Vajra Yoga are the most extensive, the content of its teachings and practices will be divided into two years.
If you have already received the Second Vajra Yoga of Kālachakra with Rinpoche, we welcome you to check the requirements and to present yourself as a candidate by clicking here. To bring more clarity to the preparation process, we have prepared an additional explanation inside the application form. Only upon approval will you be able to proceed with registration. Please do not register before receiving the confirmation of approval.
About the Event and Schedule
The Vajra Yoga of Life-Force Control — Skt. Prāṇāyāma, Tib. sogtsol
The third of the Six Vajra Yogas is known as Life-Force Control. Previously the empty-forms were mixed with the perceiving awareness itself. These two are now combined with the inner winds so that there is no separation between the three entities. The ten winds of the left and right channels are unified as they are drawn into the central channel, thereby causing the circulation of the inner winds in the left and right channels to cease. This is achieved by focusing on the navel centre, where the blazing fire of authentic tummo is experienced.
The event encompasses 1) two days with Preliminary Practices, Guru Pūjā, Kālachakra-Tsok, and a walk and practice in the nature with Rinpoche, 2) The Four Higher Empowerments of Kālachakra (Rinpoche will bestow them again for this group for the sake of creating the best conditions for practice), 3) Transmission and Teachings for the Third Vajra Yoga practices (first part only, as the content is extensive), 4) If needed, a personal audience with Rinpoche (upon request), 5) one week of Retreat with practice sessions guided by senior students, as well as 6) food and accommodation at the Dzokden Kalapa Retreat Center.

If you wish/need to stay additional nights at the Retreat Center before the Third Yoga Retreat (either dormitory or tent), write us ([email protected]) so that we can inform you of the conditions.
If you would like to additionally book the subsequent Practice Retreat Weeks for the Third Vajra Yoga (September 6 – 13, and 13 – 20, register additionally here.)
How to Prepare and Materials
We recommend that you attend the Practice Retreat in the Winter and/or the Second Vajra Yoga retreat of this year, so that you can be better prepared (however, this is not mandatory.)
How to prepare: We strongly encourage you to prepare yourself as much as you can with all the Kālachakra Preliminary Practices and especially all the practices related to the Second Vajra Yoga. In addition to the sādhanas “Divine Ladder” and “Enlightening the Heart”, you will need to know the sādhana “Secret Ḍākinī Treasure.” For the latter, you must register here for the recorded commentary if you have not already received it previously (there you also find the recorded chanting).
Make sure to register for, study, and practice as much as you can the GURU PŪJĀ and the KĀLACHAKRA-TSOK to prepare yourself so that you know these rituals and their meanings very well beforehand. Both courses have texts and teachings translated into many languages. Inside, you find the chantings and practical explanations as well. If you wish (not mandatory), bring your own vajra, bell, ḍamaru, or other ritual instruments.
We encourage you to study all the sādhanas and pūjās as much as you can, including the chantings.
Materials: You can borrow from Kalapa Guru Pūjā and Tsok texts. Bring your practice materials such as “The Profound Path of Vajra Yoga,“ the “Secret Ḍākinī Treasure,” and the “Four Higher Empowerments” Booklet. Everything must be on paper because electronic devices are not allowed after the strict retreat begins. You can also bring your restricted booklets for First and Second Yogas as a reference for your practice. Reading materials not directly related to this practice are not allowed during the strict retreat period. Bring also all the meditation implements you received for the related practices.
Retreat Information and Guidelines
After the Empowerments on August 29, the strict retreat period will begin. During this period, participants are not allowed to receive visitors or use mobile phones, tablet devices, pads, smart watches, laptops, computers, etc. We can store these in our office if you wish. If someone needs to contact you in case of an emergency, they can email [email protected] or call/message +43 676 395 8898, and we will inform you.
The daily schedule consists of four practice sessions of the Third Vajra Yoga practices and occasional teachings, rituals, and audiences. Participation in two daily group practice sessions is mandatory unless health conditions completely prevent you from taking part. The remaining two practice sessions can be practiced in your own room if you prefer. Practice sessions will be conducted in English and Tibetan.
During this retreat, a participant accumulates at least 30 hours of Third Vajra Yoga practice, or more if one does longer sessions or practice/study between group sessions.
Registration
The fee for the retreat includes three vegetarian meals and shared accommodation at the Dzokden Kalapa Retreat Center. When registering, please inform us if you have allergies, food intolerances, or other important health or mental conditions that we need to consider. We cannot offer space for individual rooms for participants of this event. However, you can alternatively bring your own tent and sleep outside near the Kālachakra Stūpa (see registration options below).
Off-Site Accommodations
If you absolutely need an individual room, many options for accommodations are available near the retreat center’s area, in the Garanas region, and in the town of Bad Schwanberg. In this case, please search for and book the necessary reservations yourself. You need to follow the same guidelines as the other retreatants. That said, Rinpoche prefers you stay in the Retreat Center.
FAQ: Please note that it takes incredible merit to have the conditions for this project to happen: 1) We have made a large effort to keep the cost reasonable within our context. We encourage practitioners to save up and create the conditions to participate. In the past, people have given everything they had to the Vajra Master for similar teachings. 2) Leaving earlier is not recommended at all, but if you absolutely cannot commit to attending for the entire period, send a request by informing your reasons and the desired date and time of your earlier check-out so that we can see if that can be allowed as an exception. Note that we cannot offer you a special registration cost. The cost is for the entire event, regardless of whether you can stay for the entire period or not.
Volunteer Opportunities
We need one volunteer to cook breakfast, lunch, and a light dinner for the participants, and a second volunteer as a cook helper. The volunteers will be able to enjoy all the areas in the retreat center except for the Kālachakra Temple, where the participants will practice. Unlike the participants, external volunteers can access electronic devices. This is an extraordinary opportunity to generate merit and create the causes to be able to engage in this practice yourself in the future. Rinpoche strongly encourages us to support our dharma brothers and sisters by volunteering. During your stay, we can provide free access to an online course or recorded retreat at our digital learning center if you would like to support your practice and study while you are volunteering.
If you are considering this opportunity, please write as soon as possible to [email protected]. You can also volunteer for only a portion of the event; you can offer as much as possible according to your possibilities. That being said, we prefer the participation of someone who can commit to the whole period.
If you are part of the EAP — Enlightened Activities Program — and need to gather participation for attending Completion Stage teachings, your participation as a volunteer for this event can be counted: Main Cook — around 128 EAP hours in total | Assistant Cook — around 108 EAP hours in total. See all roles here.

Treziți energiile prosperității și vitalității interioare
Inițierea Dzambhala Verde – O bijuterie rară din linia de transmisie a lui Jetsun Taranatha
Dzokden oferă o ocazie prețioasă de a primi una dintre împuternicirile Dzambhala rare legate de Tantra Kalachakra, păstrate în linia de transmisie imaculată Jonang a lui Jetsun Taranatha, unul dintre cei mai mari maeștri realizați ai practicilor abundenței din Tibet. Această formă este conectată cu familia Buddha Ashokbhya.
La Dzokden, avem norocul ca Khentrul Rinpoche să fi acceptat să acorde toate cele 5 forme de Dzambhala. În prezent, ne îndreptăm spre finalizarea ciclului tuturor celor cinci împuterniciri Dzambhala. Împuternicirea finală – Dzambhala Roșu – va fi acordată la Toronto în 2027. Deși este posibil să oferim din nou celelalte trei forme de Dzambhala în următorii ani, această inițiere Dzambhala Verde, din ciclul rar al lui Jetsun Taranatha, s-ar putea să nu mai fie disponibilă pentru o perioadă.
Pentru practicanții care doresc să completeze întreaga mandală a binecuvântărilor lui Dzambhala, aceasta este o oportunitate extraordinară și limitată în timp.
Include
-Împuternicirea Dzambhala Verde din Tantra Kalachakra
-Textul practicii Dzambhala Verde Chulen și instrucțiuni
Un supliment puternic pentru practica Kalachakra
Sistemul Dzambhala al lui Jetsun Taranatha este armonizat în mod unic cu matricea elementelor și familiile de Buddha care compun mandala Kalachakra. Datorită acestei alinieri profunde, împuternicirea este benefică în special pentru cei angajați în studiul, retragerea sau practica fundamentală Kalachakra.
Pentru a beneficia pe deplin de această practică profundă, participanții trebuie să fi primit sau să se angajeze să primească cele Șapte Împuterniciri ale Copilului în Creștere din Kalachakra. Aceasta asigură pregătirea adecvată, fundamentul energetic și conexiunea autentică cu linia de transmisie.
Cele trei dimensiuni ale abundenței
Aspectul exterior — Cele patru tipuri de abundență externă
Practica exterioară a lui Dzambhala Verde îți armonizează viața cu patru forme esențiale de prosperitate:
1 – Abundența Dharmei
Bogăția supremă — învățăturile care conduc dincolo de samsara.
2 – Abundența materială
Transformarea resurselor în acțiuni pline de compasiune, în loc de o acumulare egocentrică a acestora.
3 – Bucuria dorințelor
Folosirea experienței senzoriale ca treaptă, mai degrabă decât ca distragere.
4 – Eliberarea
Abundența supremă: libertatea completă care depășește toate bogățiile lumești.
Aspectul interior — Mandala celor zece zeități și practica de hrănire a esenței
În centrul acesteia se află o mandală a celor zece zeități conectată cu Kalachakra, care acționează pentru a armoniza cele zece vânturi vitale (prana) din corpul subtil, stabilizând condițiile interne care conduc la adevărata abundență.
Clasificat ca o practică chulen, acest ciclu — păstrat prin învățăturile profunde ale lui Jetsun Taranatha — folosește esențele subtile pentru a hrăni:
-Abundența fizică — vitalitate sporită, forță, longevitate
-Abundența mentală — claritate, echilibru emoțional și rezistență interioară
Această transmisie rară nu este oferită în mod obișnuit în zilele noastre, ceea ce o face deosebit de prețioasă.
Aspectul suprem — Transformarea bogăției în cale
Aspectul suprem dezvăluie arta tantrică de a transforma fiecare experiență — inclusiv bogăția, resursele și plăcerile senzoriale — în calea către trezire. Bazată pe măiestria lui Taranatha, această practică arată că nimic nu trebuie respins; totul devine combustibil pentru eliberare, atunci când este păstrat cu o viziune corectă.
Un sistem complet pentru prosperitate exterioară și trezire interioară
Dzambhala Verde, din ciclul rar al lui Jetsun Taranatha, este mai mult decât o binecuvântare — este un sistem vajra complet pentru cultivarea prosperității, stabilității și realizării.
Prin integrarea sa profundă cu Kalachakra, acesta susține:
-condiții exterioare favorabile
-energie interioară echilibrată
-realizarea supremă a abundenței non-duale
Nu ratați această ocazie rară de a primi Dzambhala Verde și de a vă apropia cu încă un pas de completarea ciclului complet Dzambhala.
Aceasta include atât inițierea cât și practica pentru Dzambhala Verde.
Condiții preliminare și cerințe
Este de preferat ca practicantul să fi primit inițierea Kalachakra în trecut de la orice maestru calificat, sub orice formă. Dacă nu ați primit anterior Kalachakra, dar doriți să primiți inițierea Dzambhala Verde, Khentrul Rinpoche vă cere să promiteți că veți lua împuternicirea Kalachakra de la el în viitor.

Samaya Tārā Empowerment
For Committed Disciples and Active Volunteers in Dzokden’s Enlightened Activities Program
With Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche
By invite only. Invitations sent out one month before the empowerment.
Throughout the ages, the sublime goddess Tārā has swiftly responded to the calls of sincere practitioners, protecting and empowering those who dedicate their lives to the Dharma. Among her many manifestations, Samaya Tārā (dam tshig sgrol ma) — the Samaya Yoginī — stands as a profound and esoteric form within the highest yoga tantra cycles. Preserved through the Jonang tradition and elucidated by the great Jetsun Tāranātha, the Samaya Tārā cycle embodies the deep bond between disciple and deity, rooted in unwavering commitment and enlightened activity.
In his historical masterpiece, The Origin of the Tārā Tantra, Tāranātha traces the sacred origins and lineages of Tārā’s tantras — revealing how the Samaya Tārā teachings were transmitted through visions, siddhas, and hidden treasures, safeguarded by devoted practitioners who maintained their vows with purity. Unlike the more widely known outer Tara practices, this cycle represents the inner yoginī level of Tārā — a complete tantric system traditionally reserved for those who actively uphold their samaya and engage in the bodhisattva path through service and practice.
Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche will bestow the Samaya Tārā Empowerment exclusively to disciples who are actively maintaining their sacred commitments (samaya) and are weekly volunteers engaged in Dzokden’s Enlightened Activities Program. This rare transmission is both a blessing and a responsibility — a gateway into a lineage of enlightened action, where inner realization and outer service are inseparably united.
Receiving this empowerment is not simply an event; it is a mutual pledge between master, disciple, and deity. In the spirit of Tāranātha’s vision, it calls forth a community of practitioners who embody Tārā’s swift compassion through tangible, altruistic activity — manifesting enlightened society through service, creativity, and steadfast dedication.
Samaya Tara Empowerment in 2026
Eligibility:
-Disciples maintaining their tantric samaya with purity and sincerity.
-Active weekly volunteers participating in Dzokden’s Enlightened Activities Program.
-A commitment to continue integrating practice with meaningful action for the benefit of all beings.
-Empowered Action: Strengthen your capacity to embody Tārā’s enlightened activity in the world — magnetizing, protecting, and inspiring through altruistic work. This is a great opportunity to strengthen your association with the power of the great mother, the mother of the Buddhas.
WHO IS THIS FOR or HOW TO PREPARE MYSELF?
This empowerment is only open to people who are dedicated students who are in the enlightened activities program volunteering. If you want to be able to enroll in this empowerment you must be in our volunteer program and be volunteering regularly such as weekly in a role. This is an empowerment for Tantric Samaya and so is not suitable for those who are not working for the Guru, devoted and maintaining samaya. |
HOW THE ONLINE EMPOWERMENT WILL WORK
1 – Register for each attendee that will be receiving the empowerment.
2 – You must be approved by the Enlightened Activites Program that you are dedicated and volunteering enough.
3 – You will receive access to the zoom for each of the sessions the week of the empowerment.
